Fantascan

Fantascan is a fantasy console inspired by a video i watched about the atari quadrascan once.

Every script in the routines directory will run every frame. The following constants are available:

• DRAW - A table containing named groups of draw instructions.
• DRAW_DIRTY - Set this to true if you have changed any draw instructions.
• WORK - Write any data you need to store here. This might be used for save states if I ever continue this.
• SAVE - Does nothing.
• SAVE_DIRTY - Does nothing.
• UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, Z, X - Reads user input.

I don't particularly like Lua, so if I ever do anything with this I'm going to port it to a more normal language.

The following draw instructions are available:

• home - Resets everything.
• move <X> <Y> - Moves in relative coordinates
• scale <X> <Y> - Scales the coordinate system
• rotate <A> - Rotates the coordinate system in degrees
• color <R> <G> <B> - Sets the color, 0-255
• power <O> - Sets the opacity, 0-255
• toggle <B> - Toggles drawing. true/false
